...No offense to Turbo Tank fans, but that just falls flat to me for some reason.

I'm kind of agreeing with you on that Jesse. I thought I'd be excited for the Turbo Tank and now I'm not. It's just WAY to undersized and the lower part by the wheels is too boxy for me. We don't need that to be a speeder launching section.

The CW Y-wing however is much as I thought a Y-wing would look like with armor, so I'm glad they're making this. The price point however is hitting me in the gut. I'd be slightly okay with $40. Though I'd prefer in the $30 range. The rumored $60 or $70 is too much. I don't know if I should buy one of these right away or hope for a sale down the line. I do expect these to be good sellers. But I don't know if they'll be great sellers, enough to warrant a panic about not buying them at first glance.

Yes, according to Hasbro that's the schedule, however you know how that goes...

The thing working in the YW's favor is that it's been seen in Asia now for over a month. Usually once things are spotted you can count on them a month or two from when they're first seen. That's been my experience anyway (and by "you" I mean anyone on the West Coast, since it's usually at least a month till I see anything after it's already been found anywhere else! ).

This was Hasbro's release though, so I think we'll see it sooner than later.

It's not bad. The sticker sheet is basically all white, the stickers go on the white part, and they're basically invisible from a distance. Totally worthless except for one which goes in the canopy.

Hasbro really loaded it up with play features. For the asking price, I'm a little surprised they didn't put in a beep or a light or something, but there's a ton of projectiles here. The handle's a nice touch. R2-D2 and the gunner could probably use a booster seat though.

I just picked one of these up last night at a Wal-Mart here in the Los Angeles area.Very, very cool ship. I usually don't collect vehicles, but this thing was hard to pass up. Y-Wing was probably my favorite ship from the OT so to see it all sparkly and new and armored up is pretty darn cool!

Here's some info for those of you looking for this sucker:Assortment Number: 91378/91350UPC Number: 6 56569 43597 6

I picked up one in a Wal-Mart in New Jersey. Used that 5.00 Clone bucks too. Got it for 59.00. Then I walked across the parking lot and got a Fedaration Droid Tank for 16.99 at Target with more Clone Bucks.

All of my Targets are stacked double deep with ARCs so I'll be making more visits to WM to score this sucker. Got my EE catalog today and they have the Imperial ARC advertised as a "best seller" at $74.99. Yeeaaaaah right.

Are you saying I can't tell what's selling well at my job? It's a best-seller for *us*.
